The Sunday Picnic Crew

Dress - Forecast (similar or this) // Cardigan - Chica a booti (similar) // Shoes - Dr Martens 

A simple and cute outfit for an indoor picnic on a sweltering day. Today I'm wearing this brocade-esque princess dress that I've had for years, a black cardigan for the occasional chills and a pair of school shoe docs. The dress is one of my treasured items, I think it stands for everything I love fashion wise - structure, texture and my nostalgic tendencies towards clothing that remind me of my awesome wardrobe for when I was five.

Blazer - Forever 21 (similar) // Tee - Cotton On (other tees)// Shirt - Forever 21 (similar)// Skirt - Charlotte Russe (similar) / Shoes - Naturalizer N5 Comfort

Another outfit on a beautiful Sydney day! I've done a post with this blazer before, but in case you didn't see it, I scored it when I was in America almost three years ago. I was so incredibly happy at the time, because it was exactly what I was looking for. Here, I was inspired a little by the '70s with the combination of denim and the camel colouring, but then added the calf socks and mini skirt for a bit of spunk. Hope you guys like this outfit, let us know!

Statement Jackets

Blazer - Pre-owned (similar or this) // Shirt - Zara (similar) // Shorts - Tempt

My go to outfit when I'm completely blank of what to wear is a basic tee, black jeans/shorts and, if it's a bit chilly, this intricately patterned blazer.  I found this cute paisley piece while sifting through my aunt's rarely-used-items wardrobe in San Fransisco years ago. It did require a shoulder pad removal, but since then I've been treating it with as much common wear as my holey white tee's!

I think now's a perfect time as ever to put on a light statement jacket with your favourite basics, add a bit of colour to match those warm and breezy days of Sydney's autumn!

Tee - Cotton On (other tees) // Shorts - Forever New (similar) // Jacket - Forever 21 (similar)

I have loved this jacket since the moment I bought it, but it's one of those pieces I've struggled with because I couldn't figure out how to wear it. I've been meaning to for over a year (when I bought it in America) because it's so cool, but it's hard to pair because of the colours. I was hoping to stear away from monochrome after my last post, but hey, I didn't know what else to do! I wanted to pair this look with my creepers but they're completely broken beyond repair, so I've cut my feet out of these pictures (I'm just wearing my Dr Martens). Hope you guys like this look! Let us know, we're open for comments!

Something Borrowed

Pullover - pre-owned (similar) // Shorts - Tempt (similar) // Boots - Lipstik 

We have this tradition between my mother and I where every couple of years she'll get nostalgic and want to open up suitcases where all her clothes from her late 20's are stored; air them, remove a shoulder pad or two and wear them out. Usually, this would involve trying on ridiculous outfits and laughing over baggy plaid suits, but there would always be that one item that I'd immediately grab, tell mum I'd be borrowing and gradually claim it as my own. 

 In this case, it's two pieces - this super cute navy knit pull over (I love the crew neckline!) and heirloom pearl bracelet. All we need is a circle rockabilly skirt and we're set for the 1950's look don't you think?

Tee - Ben Sherman (similar) // Shorts - Forever New (similar) // Jacket - My dad's (sorry) // Shoes - Naturalizer N5 Comfort 

A new look for this week! It's always so funny to look through the camera roll after we're done and see how ridiculous some of the photos always turn out. This outfit is comfortable as hell because of these super loose shorts from Forever New and comfy shoes from BP. I love the fit of these shorts, and will probably continue to wear them through winter with tights underneath. Also, I'm stoked to show you guys these heels I've had for a while - they have slight height and are super duper comfortable.
